butter-fat yield. The number of cows entered 

 were: five Swiss cows, twenty-five Jerseys, fifteen 

 Holsteins or Fries, and twenty-nine Shorthorns ; 

 i.e. seventy-four cows all told. Thirty- three of 

 these produced enough fat in their milk to make 

 an average of two pounds or more of butter for 

 each of the 120 days, and of these thirty-three 

 cows twenty-one were Jerseys, ten Friesland, one 

 Shorthorn, and one Swiss. As a result of the trial 

 the Friesland were easily first as milk producers, 

 Jerseys came second, and Shorthorns last ; while 

 as butter producers the Jerseys were first, the Fries- 

 land second, and the Swiss third.
